Refund policy

Last Updated: 01/14/25

At Chitown Trendz, we specialize in custom-printed products including DTF transfers, gang sheets, custom apparel, and personalized items. Because each order is printed exactly according to the artwork and specifications provided by the customer, all products are made-to-order.

For this reason, all sales are final, and we do not offer returns or refunds except in cases of verified manufacturing errors or defects caused by us.

This policy applies to all purchases made on chitowntrendz.com and through our social platforms.


1. All Sales Are Final

Because our products are custom-printed to order:

We do not accept returns

We do not offer refunds

We do not offer exchanges

We do not accept order changes after production begins

Customers are responsible for ensuring that all artwork, sizes, colors, quantities, and order details are correct before confirming checkout.


2. Order Cancellations

You may cancel your order only if production has not begun.

Once printing, processing, or preparation is underway, cancellations are no longer possible, regardless of the order status in your account.

To request cancellation before production starts, contact us immediately at:

3. Artwork Responsibility

Customers are fully responsible for:

Uploading print-ready artwork

Ensuring artwork is the correct size, resolution, dimensions, orientation

Providing PNG files with transparent backgrounds

Making sure colors are correct (DTF prints in CMYK, screens display RGB)

We print files exactly as received.
We do not resize, edit, fix, modify, or correct artwork unless explicitly arranged.

No refunds will be issued for printing results caused by incorrect or low-quality artwork provided by the customer.
